Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large egg
- 2 slices of bread (cut/torn into dime size pieces)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp onion powder (additional needed for sprinkling on top)
- 1½ tsp garlic powder (additional needed for sprinkling on top)
- ½ tsp black pepper (additional needed for sprinkling on top)
- ¼ tsp salt (additional needed for sprinkling on top)
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup (additional needed for adding on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing bowl add in the ground beef along with all the other ingredients. Using a spoon or your hands combine all of the spices, onion, and bread pieces into the meat. Mix until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the meat into a loaf pan. Firmly flatten out the meat to fill the bottom of the loaf pan. When the meat is evenly pressed out using your fingers run them along the edge of the meat. This will pull the meat away from the pan and give the meat more of a loaf shape.
- Sprinkle the meatloaf with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and top with additional ketchup.
- Bake uncovered in a 425°F oven for 45 minutes or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. This allows the meatloaf to firm up and cool making it easier to serve without falling apart.
